Most of the U.S. lost an hour of sleep Saturday night when Daylight Savings Time began; the clocks will return to 'normal' in November

Some people find the change annoying and wrestle once each year with the fear of being late to events Sunday morning

President Trump said Monday that he would support making DST 'permanent,' a proposal that would leave clocks where they are right now

The concept was practiced in ancient Rome and had a resurgence as nations fighting World War I struggled to conserve fuel

I am not sure about the report. There are professionals that constantly deal with time changes for east - west travel (airline pilots / crews, shipping vessel crews, cross country truckers) with corresponding contradictory studies that conclude off hour shift work (health care, law enforcement, military, utility workers) especially rotating shifts has a much greater impact on accidents and health than seasonal time change.

I'd vote for it because I get more time sitting outside with a good cigar, an adult beverage and a good book.

After what's amounting to 6 months of snow, wind and cold here in The 'Hood, I'll take every minute I can get outside.

I recall the sage Homer Simpson had a comment about this, cursing daylight saving time blaming it on those, "damn midwestern farmers."

As a Conservative, usually I hate change, but this artificial PIA is certainly something we should get rid of.

Since we are already here, maybe we should agree with Trump, cancel Standard Time, and just stick with DST. It's the changes people whine about.

With that in mind, why don't we screw with the whiners and have 8 time changes per year in 15 minute increments. Four plus 15 minute time changes "every month and one-half" followed by four minus 15 minute time changes for the next four "month and a half" intervals. I'd pay a few bucks just for the chance to watch the whiners' heads explode.

No one complains in the fall when they get an extra hour, just when they lose it. Let's just get rid if the "losing" part of the system so everyone can stop bitching.

This is probably far too sensible to ever actually happen.

Hell, next he'll be talking about going to the metric system. Where will the logic and sanity end ?

We already have 2 states that have the common sense not to change times - Arizona and Hawaii. I'd love to keep the same time all yesr.
Still amazes me that Hawaii actually does something that makes sense

It’s much easier for southern states to deal with. The sunrise time in Honolulu for example has a range of only about an hour throughout the year.

At our latitude, the range is two+ hours. We wouldn’t see the sun until 8:46 AM during winter solstice if we didn't fall back to EST. That would suck.
